It's the worst idea of all time.
Season 2.
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na.
Nickelodeon. Hello. Welcome along to the worst idea of all time. Season 2 In New Zealand Podcast in New Zealand But don't We're not saying you should But don't In most of America Oh who's that It's not a target
No one knows
You're not in the room
Who's that third voice
You hear at the moment
Oh
It's actually
Someone's coming in and out
A little bit
So hold your shit
Properly gentlemen
And allow me to introduce
Two of the single
Greatest podcasting talents
That New Zealand
Has to offer
My name is Guy Montgomery
No no no, no.
It's not us.
I've already introduced us.
We are third and fourth.
Wow.
And first and second place, in no particular order,
let me first, the man that you first heard,
let me introduce...
Number one.
Joseph Moore.
Ladies and gentlemen, Joseph Moore.
Oh, hello.
Hello, gentlemen.
Undeniably number one.
Nick, we apologize to you.
We have spent hours
Pouring over these rankings
And
I'm very comfortable
Back here at number two
Don't burn
Ready to step up
To number one
In case anything goes wrong
Don't burn his first name
Before we've given him
A full introduction
Ladies and gentlemen
You know him
You love him
You left your kids
At his place one time
And they came back
With a little bump on their head
And a little bit confused
You thought nothing of it
At the time Guy I mean Guy acted a little bit guilty if i'm being honest with you
because he had to cover for the fact that nick had done something a little bit wrong they wanted
to go down the laundry chute they and nick was not prepared to stop the crazy old uncle nick was
only too happy to enable your kids so for the first time ever can I introduce by his full name
As far as I know it because I don't know his middle name
Ladies and gentlemen it's your cool uncle Nick Sampson
What is your middle name?
The cool uncle of New Zealand comedy
Why is he an uncle?
Because he let the kids go down to the laundry shirt
You're not related to him
Dad's not going to do that is he?
You know how you talk about your friends kids
Your friend brings a kid around
Your crazy old uncle Joseph
Am I
People call me crazy old uncle
Yeah you wouldn't know Joe
You'd know he's bringing around kids to your house
My house full of kids
Steady stream of kids
In and out
I have to have a bouncer with a clicker on the door
No more than a hundred
Of your nieces and nephews.
All right, before this buck and bronco gets away on us, lads,
let's address the elephant in the room.
We've just watched Sex and the City 2.
You're mixing metaphors all over the place here.
They're all animals and they're all angry.
We've watched Sex and the City 2, Guy and I, for the 16th time.
Joseph, I believe, for the one and a half.
One and a half.
Well, I half watched it
with my ears.
Listen to it.
There's a term for that.
Listen to it.
Actually, you guys...
Hold on.
How do you watch something
with your ears?
What's that called?
You know how we normally
do things like other people
do things?
Let's do things
the opposite to that.
Okay.
Plug your podcast first
and then we'll talk about the movie okay
go well we do a podcast called cheap tuesday where we watch a movie each week and talk about
the way that you guys do a different movie though it's and we we go the push we've really
pussied out yeah and come with a different and. And go to the movies and spend a lot of money.
And that's why you guys are great and
little bitches but
still great.
Thank you.
And it's an honor to
be here.
This week on our
hour we went to see
Entourage which I
noticed so many
similarities between
that and this movie
that we've just
watched now.
Should we just rip
in?
Yeah.
Should we just rip
in?
Nick are you ready to compare Entourage to Sex and City 2?
Should we really date stamp this thing and date it horribly
by just talking about a movie that's just come out?
If they find this one in a time capsule in space,
they'll know exactly when we were talking about it.
They'll be like, bam!
Gotcha, motherfucker!
It's when the Entourage movie came out.
There are a lot of similarities.
It's when the Entourage movie came out.
There are a lot of similarities.
Definitely.
Entourage stars four hateful men.
Yeah.
And this movie stars four hateful women.
Do you hate all the guys in Entourage?
I remember Entourage being fun, though, as the TV says.
Yeah, but the worst kind of fun.
Bad fun.
Bad fun.
What's bad fun? No, no.
I would say
Entourage is
objectively more fun
oh more fun
than
Sex and the City
but surely
that's just because
you're a bloke mate
it's all the girlfriends
and wives
I'm talking about
I didn't watch
the TV series
of Sex and the City
no
or of Entourage
you watched Entourage
I watched Entourage
did you enjoy it
yeah but then
I enjoyed it in that hindsight of being like,
oh God, I wish I didn't watch that.
But hold on, let's time travel.
Put yourselves back into the place of, well, just you actually,
because I'm only talking to Nick right now.
Of the moment, did you enjoy Entourage as it was unfolding?
I enjoyed it in, like, it was a time when I was sort of coming
to know myself a bit better. And I enjoyed it as a coming was a time when I was sort of coming to know myself a bit better and I love sex with everyone man guy were watching stand by
me and you were watching entourage and it shaped the human beings we are a lot of people that a point where I realized Entourage was terrible.
A lot of people
in our generation...
It was a really good
realization for me.
You know,
we started watching Entourage
around the same time
we started buying shirts
with buttons.
I really thought
you were going to say
masturbating there
because I saw your mouth
making an M sound.
I've been buying shirts
with buttons, you know?
Buying shirts with buttons.
Seminal stage in your life.
Yeah.
You're like,
hey, I got a... I got a shirt with buttons. Yeah. in your life Yeah You're like hey I got a
I got a shirt with buttons
Yeah
Watch out
What would that mean
What's happening when you're
Putting on your shirt with buttons
You're on the prow
You're into town
Yeah
You're looking for trouble
Is what you're doing
Isn't it
Isn't it ironic
You dress up to get down
Yeah isn't that
Has that ever struck you
As just being
Isn't life just
Just a topsy turvy place
Oh it's a wonderful thing
Wonderful thing.
Your ups are down, your downs are ups.
But let's not talk about Entourage too much,
because the movie we just saw wasn't Entourage.
Please, please just let it stop.
So, like, I mean, first of all, first impressions.
Nick, I'm going to start with you,
even though you've just been talking.
I would say it is, yeah, the length.
It is ponderously, unavoidably.
It is one of the longest things I've ever sat through.
And it's not just long in length.
Yes.
Although it is that.
Although it is that.
Which is the main way of measuring length.
However.
I didn't realize there are other ways to measure.
But like every scene ends like every shot someone will say their line
and then the camera will linger on them too long like it's the first uh it like it's this is the
block edit that the editor has gone all right this is how the film stacks up yeah and now i wait for
the director to come in and we'll tighten it up and then he never came
never showed up you could drive a truck through the lines right like in between them saying yeah
there's some scenes some pranks there's bloody driven a truck right right square through two
actors oh yeah we've told all of our listeners not to watch the movie so they don't know this
but we've there's a lot of trucks in the movie where they drive them in between like miranda
and carrie there's a line yeah and then a movie where they drive them in between Miranda and Carrie.
There's a line, and then a truck, and then another line.
A very literal metaphor.
It's crazy.
They'll gracefully step aside, and a truck will come through.
It's amazing that they get killed. I thought it was some close calls.
Some of the trucks-
Well, you didn't see, Joseph, that one scene where a guy gets hit.
And that's how good the stunties are.
They make it look like it's a close call, but it's never really a close call.
It's a safe set.
I don't know if you do this every time in the podcast,
but I wouldn't feel comfortable going on without just
giving a shout out
to the family of the
Stunny Who
the Stunty Who
we do
we do do that
every podcast
I don't listen to every episode
sorry so you don't
we pour out some of our drinks
I believe it was
when
just gobble up that mic
gobble it up
I believe it was when
Samantha said
Lawrence of Mylabia
and then the truck
comes through and hits that extra yeah they use the Wilhelm scream I believe it was when Samantha said Lawrence of Mylabia, and then the truck comes through and hits that extra.
Yeah.
They used the Wilhelm scream, I believe.
That's correct, all tie.
I'm bad at doing the impression, but yeah, you get it.
Yeah, yeah.
You sounded like a farm animal.
Wow.
It was odd in the movie how they played it for laughs, though,
because a real man died,
and then they kind of cut to an individual shot of each woman.
They do a lot of shit like that, though, Joseph.
You may have noticed they use a sitar to very racist and comical effect in the movie as well.
They provide a lot of musical cues.
You were quick to pick up on this.
Okay, are we allowed to just talk about whatever?
Of course, mate.
Absolutely not.
Under no circumstance shall we talk about whatever.
I don't know if you noticed how much whiskey I've had, bro,
but I'm pretty sure there's no rules to this one, mate.
Musical cue observation number one.
Hit me.
Whenever Carrie walks, it's like she is magical,
for with each step comes a twinkle, you know,
that suggests she has, I'm going to say, fairy godmother powers.
Like a shimmering musical twinkle.
Yeah.
What is that called?
What is that, like a chimes?
Are they chimes?
Yeah, a bit of chimes, a bit of ding-dong.
Ding-dong chimes.
Yeah.
You're supposed to be the music man.
The ding-dong is a separate instrument from chimes.
Yeah, yeah.
What's the ding-dong sound like, Guy, real quick?
It sounds similar to chimes.
Give me your ding dong real quick.
Actually, ding dong is on a metapair.
I don't know if you...
It's like
a crow. You know how a crow crows?
Yep. Ding dong, ding dongs.
When I say the word ding dong,
that is the sound of ding dong. Oh, I'm sorry, you're doing it already?
Yes. Oh, I beg your pardon, I was missing it.
It's just so good. You just weave it in.
Anyway, I believe she has mystical abilities, which are not explicitly shown in the film.
Now, Joe, let me throw this at you as a little bit of a theory.
Okay.
Do you think those magical abilities exist before or solely after she puts the hat on at the gay wedding?
Oh, before.
They're there.
So it permeates the entire film.
She was born with it.
You know, you don't,
it's not magical shoes.
It's not like Mike.
You know like Mike?
Lil Bow Wow has magic shoes
that makes him good at basketball.
It's not like that.
She has a magic,
I think she's born like.
Of all of the examples you could have picked,
I'm glad you went with Like Mike
Thank you
It's a way to not alienate
Any person listening
To the podcast
Because everyone's seen
Like Mike
Is what I'm trying to say
It's a very popular movie
Everyone saw it
I think it's pretty clear
That when she puts on that
Headdress
It's called
She refers to it as a hat
But
Well it's not a
It's not really I mean a hat is To cover your Head Well refers to it as a hat. Well, it's not a hat.
I mean, a hat is to cover your head.
Well, a hat looks like a hat.
It'd be closer to a visor than a hat.
But it's not a visor either because it doesn't cover
your eyes.
It's like a belt for your head.
It's a crown, realistically.
Oh, it's a crown.
When she puts on the crown...
The crown's like a whole belt.
Say that again, What's that?
No, it's the crown.
There's clearly some sort of foreshadowing
happening there.
And I kind of feel like
it's some sort of curse
that maybe a witch
or an evil gypsy
has put maybe in a gemstone
in the crown.
Sure.
It's slowly working its way into her body
causing her to lose
Control over
Where she puts
Her passport
Yes
Yes
I'm glad you've struck
Into that
Um
Which is of course
The driving
The driving plot of the movie
Well of that act
It's the one big
It's the one time
Something's
Gone
Goes wrong
I'm sorry
A plot is when you
Someone does something
Once And then at the end of the movie They come back to the same Spot and Just solve that problem Something's gone Goes wrong I'm sorry A plot is when you Someone does something Once
And then at the end of the movie
They come back to the same spot
And just solve that problem
That's what a plot is
A plot is when a series
Of seemingly
Unconnected
Events
Happen in a row
In a few different locations
Here's what I'm gonna do
Right
Here's what I'm gonna do
If I may
I'm gonna throw it over to you two
Okay
To Nick Sampson and to Joseph Moore
to explain to me what the plot of Sex and the City 2 is
and you've got limited time to do it
I'm pulling off my wristwatch so I can take care of this
you've got a maximum of 3 minutes and I want you to describe the movie you've just seen
because it's an exercise
in recall and in brevity.
Of taking something that took over two and a half hours to watch,
I want you to boil it down to three minutes.
Are you ready?
If you're not familiar with the word brevity,
it is to be succinct, you could say.
This podcast is brevity in action.
I would just like to interject.
You have something to say on the matter?
No, no, but we will be brief.
Okay, yes.
We'll be brief.
Okay.
I'll kick us off.
In the same way that we have not taken much time to define brevity,
we demand the same of you.
Gentlemen, your time starts now
We hear a familiar beat
What's that?
Pianos mixed in with drums
Oh, it must be Jay-Z's Empire State of Mind
The song plays as the Warner Brothers and HBO logos play on screen
But are they normal logos?
No, they sparkle
Sparkle with diamonds
Why?
Because we are not in our world we are in the
world of new york where the girls of sex in the city to live all right nick you keep keep it going
hey it's carrie what's up it's me right now now in 2011 but also way back in the 80s i was a lot
different but still the same hey we're all Anyway, my friend who presumably is in the TV series is getting married.
Hey.
Oh, hello.
I'm a man standing on a desert.
Wait a minute.
I have to go to a gay wedding quickly.
Okay, you quickly go.
Can I just put your phone down for a second?
Yes, yes.
I'm going to go to this wedding and comment over and over and over how gay this wedding is.
Hold on, hold on.
Shoot, shoot, shoot.
Let's talk about the movie.
Real brevity.
Hold on.
I'm at the wedding.
Okay.
Gay, gay, gay.
This is a very gay wedding.
This is a very gay wedding.
Hello.
Welcome to the wedding.
I'm a stereotype.
This is a very gay wedding.
I feel like I've seen how gay the wedding is.
Oh.
I'm going to leave now.
Okay.
Right back.
Hello.
Oh, you're still there.
How was the wedding?
Okay.
So what are you up to?
Oh, I'm standing in the desert and I'm shooting a poster for a movie that we all.
Oh, shooting a poster for a movie.
That sounds like a normal thing to have to do.
We don't have green screen, you see, in our studio.
I don't even know what that is, so I don't know how you bring that up.
Hey, I digress.
You digress.
Someone digress.
Well, we're all digressing.
My friends are going crazy.
Hey, careful with your passport.
Should I come to Abu Dhabi?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I'm a step ahead.
You quickly come to Abu Dhabi, but when you're here, be careful about your passport.
I feel like you've done too much talking. You're barely in this movie. Hey'll quickly come to Abu Dhabi, but when you're here, be careful about your passport.
I feel like you've done a lot of stalking.
You're barely in this movie.
Hey, we're in Abu Dhabi.
Oh, this plane was magnificent.
Oh, look at all this food.
Look at all these penises.
That's my passport.
You dropped it.
No, actually, I never mentioned that.
Oh, there's your passport. I'm worried about my nanny's breasts.
Hey, they sure are big.
Let's go. Camel toe.
Hey,
we should leave now.
Hey, I'm a
nice
gentleman walking down the street. You want
a smooch?
Okay, but then I'm going to tell my husband
about it. He's going to be sad in a big building.
Oh, hey, it's
Kerry's husband here.
What do you got? You got smooching?
Any old man?
Wow, you weren't doing it. You were too busy
watching your films.
Black and white and otherwise.
You know I love black and white movies.
And time. Well done, Jim. Was that a three or four? I don't know. I'm not wearing my and white and otherwise you know I love black and white movies and time
well done
was that a three or four
I don't know
I'm not wearing my digital watch
I gotta say
because
virtually no one
who's listening to this
has seen Sex and the City 2
what you just listened
it's just
devolved into a series
of buzzwords
that you remembered
from like
I don't know
I thought they did a good job
I feel kind of broken after this movie.
I feel like they kind of...
If you listen back to that...
It's a good summary of the film.
That was like one in the morning, right?
Yeah, I know it's one in the morning.
That was.
It is.
I'm very tired.
I just said that one.
It's way after one in the morning.
It's like closer to two.
Okay.
It's 20 to two a.m.
It's not important what the hour is.
Did we miss anything?
No, absolutely not.
I mean, the one thing that you missed was that you ran out of time
to quickly resolve the one issue in the film,
which is that, as you pointed out,
Carrie smooches a guy she sees in the souk,
which is an Abu Dhabi marketplace where you buy spices
and leave your passport and buy shoes at.
And then it's fine.
Yeah.
They sort it out.
They go back there.
She gets a diamond ring
out of it for Christ's sake.
It's totally fine.
I've had stuff
gone missing
in a marketplace.
What'd you have missing?
An ice cream salesman
stole my wallet
in Kuala Lumpur.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Well,
fucking hell.
Oh, you know what?
But that's life, you know?
And I went back
and it was gone. Here's some notes that I took. That's a real story. Make that into a movie, eh, that? No, you know what? But that's life, you know? And I went back and it was gone.
Here's some notes that I took.
That's a real story.
Make that into a movie, eh, guys?
Where's that feature film?
Well, it'd probably be a more engaging film than Sex and the City 2.
What else did you get up from Kuala Lumpur?
I went to the swimming pool.
That sounds like a pretty encouraging...
Hold on, we've got a sequel in the works.
Yeah, don't waste it all on one movie.
No, the first one is you losing your wallet at the second one.
It's a saga.
Here are the notes.
A real-time movie of you going to the swimming pool and you losing your wallet it's a saga here are the notes a real time movie
of you going to the swimming pool
and then losing your wallet
at the market
real time
I paid $25,000
you're an idiot
you're a fool
guy
that's why
people are like
you never got an owner house
alright here are the notes
that I've taken through
the course of the film
number one
why has no one
called Big JJ?
He announces his name
at the wedding as John James.
John James Preston.
What about Big J?
Big J's even better than JJ.
Nah,
then you're wasting a whole J.
That's crazy talk.
If you've got two J's
consecutively as an option
That is pretty much
The angle you should be pursuing
In your name
I always thought as a child
JJ was one of the coolest
It really is
Nicknames you could get
Those are two
Eight point consonants
One two
What are you talking about
Eight point consonants
Scrabble
Oh right
Jesus
Alright
There's a 16
16 letter
16.2 letter name
You can't use proper nouns
In Scrabble though my friend
You actually can in a new version
Of Scrabble
Fuck off
Yeah man
Yeah it's one of the
There's like a classic rule though
Nah
What
There's no longer Scrabble
At that point
You sound like my granddad
You can play like Beyonce
And stuff
That is
Bullshit You can play as Beyonce Yeah That's no longer Scrabble At that point You sound like my granddad You can play like Beyonce and stuff That is bullshit
You can play as Beyonce
Yeah
That's no longer Scrabble
Well no
It's dress ups
But yeah
If you play as Beyonce
You don't have time
For Scrabble
Scrabble
Scrabble night at my house
Beyonce
It's a very immersive experience
If you play as Beyonce
Here's my second
You inherit her entire career
Which is a lot of responsibility
Did you know
IMDB won't tell you about the movie
Guy and I will
Because we've seen it 16 times now
Did you know
That in one scene
In the film
In Abu Dhabi
In the hotel
They swapped out
Tilda Swinton
For Cynthia Dixon
Or Nixon
Can't remember the name of the actress
I feel like you really got caught up on this moment
Well She kind of looked like Tilda Swinton No no no Well this is or Nixon can't remember the name of the actress I feel like she's really got caught up on this moment well
she kind of looks like
Tilda Swinton
no no no
well this is
but she kind of looks like her
for the whole movie
I don't know why this seems
especially when she's not
wearing makeup
well it's not even
anything to do with especially
the fact of the matter is
it was a
it was a failed
viral marketing attempt
by Michael Patrick King
and SJP
who was getting
a producer on the movie
is they got Tilda Swinton for a cameo,
and they said,
Tilda, we want to do something different with it.
We want it to be organic.
We want it to be viral.
We're going to put you in the movie
as one of the characters.
People say viral in 2011.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Constantly.
That's how we know we're really saying it in 2010.
That's when it started.
Anyway, Tilda, you know what she's like.
She's really into virality, really into online currency,
really into monetizing content.
She said yes, they did it.
No one knows, to this day, we're lifting the lid.
It's a hidden cameo.
One of the only Hidden cameos
In the history of Hollywood
The third note
I've written on my hand
Appears to be the word
Runaling
Which last time
I checked
Isn't a word
R-U-N-A-L-I-N-G
What do you think
I was trying to
Communicate to myself
Runalina
That's impossible
To say mate
I would like to talk
About the fact that Mr. Big is colorblind.
Well, then please, take us away.
So, Mr. Big, one of his great character traits is that he likes to watch black and white movies.
Which is such a vague thing, right?
Yeah, it's...
He's like, I love black and white movies.
That's a lot of movies.
You gotta immediately go, why?
You gotta ask the question.
On the whole, not very good.
You gotta dig in there.
That was before we'd really mastered how to do movies.
Yeah, exactly.
A lot of those don't have audio.
You're a fan of audio, Mr. Big?
Yeah.
He likes the movies, not the talkies
But then later on, caught watching Deadliest Catch
Yeah
So then my theory is that
Yeah, he's colorblind
He can't tell if a movie's black and white
He just says everything's black and white
Sometimes he's right
Well, Nick, I hate to throw salt in your game
But maybe he likes more than one thing
You know, maybe he likes black and white movies
and diddly sketch
no I think he's just
he likes anything
where he knows
it's a black and white movie
because there's a certain style
he can get from watching
an old black and white movie
this is a colour blind person
colour movies confuse him
yeah they make him
they haven't catered for the
for the colour blind audience
whereas black and white movies
you can't tell who's the sun,
who's the sky.
Now,
this would explain
how he's lost so much
money on the stock
market because when
stocks go up,
they go green,
and when stocks go
down,
they go red.
Yes.
But if he was
colorblind,
then he's just
seeing numbers
moving in a
direction.
And he's just
throwing money
in every which
direction.
He's got to
pick a punt.
So,
like,
he is buying up stocks that have risen dramatically, and he's just throwing money in every which direction. He's got to pick a punt. So he's buying up stocks that have risen dramatically,
and he's selling stocks that have fallen spectacularly.
Yeah, he also has no internal compass.
He constantly thinks he's upside down.
He sees the arrows on the stock market,
and those make no sense to him at all.
Right.
And nor do numbers.
So he is a dyslexic
devoid of any
internal direction
numbers to him
are just kind of
bouncing shapes
he has no
perception of colour
he is an early
prototype of a
trading android
the US government
made about
50 prototypes
for
stock market traded.
They forgot not to program them to love.
They forgot to program this one to love.
He shows literally no affection to his wife.
So let me just show you.
Much affection as a prototype stock market Android computer.
Let me take a bit of stock here.
A colorblind stock market.
We're saying that my man
JJ Big
Is a government fuckbot
Am I on board so far?
No no he's a stockbot
He's a stockbot
He's not a fuckbot
Who happens to be
Naturally gifted at fucking
He's a stockbot
With a heart
He's the only one of the assembly line
That they forgot to turn
The emotive programming off
I see this is very Johnny Fiber
Even at his full emotion
He is
He doesn't register on the human scale
Like he still seems like a robot to us
Which is why it's weird
That he gifts his wife
A ring after she cheats on him
Just guessing.
Now, gentlemen, there's a... Can I just say before we...
Just throw it in there.
Don't ask for my permission.
Just get in there and get dirty.
I desperately want your permission.
You guys, this movie is destroying you,
and it's only been 16 goes,
but about halfway through,
you guys, for the listeners tim we watched
about this movie is so long and i really like i feel i've listened i listened to the podcast and
i feel like it's very hard to communicate how long this movie is it feels like it will never end
and at about an hour and a half tim had fallen up, toppled over like some sort of skyscraper.
And Guy was trying to play my guitar without ever having played a guitar in his life.
So just like compulsion.
He even had one lesson.
Made him pick up a guitar and try to sing an Everclear song.
So like this movie is destroying these, and I really feel for them.
But, hey, as we said positively at one point,
only 10 more views until you're halfway.
Yeah.
Well, God, isn't that a milestone that we're knocking on the door of?
Isn't the light in the tunnel devastatingly tricksy and deceptive?
Here's something I'd like to
There's a poorly lit tunnel
Inject it
It's a bit dark in the tunnel
What's the point of the tunnel
There's like fish
That make their own
Bioluminescence
And they look like
The end of the tunnel
Those are the depths
But they're not
The end of the tunnel
They're air breathing
Bioluminescent fish
Now
The first question is
We like to
This is not the first question We like to is We like to This is not the first question
We like to say
We like to ask
We like to explore
What was your favourite bit of the movie?
We call this the shining light
Speaking of bioluminescence
I remember I laughed
Okay
So maybe Guy
Maybe Guy and I will kick off
And you guys can think about
A part of the movie that you enjoyed
No way I'd like these guys to go first can think about a part of the movie that you enjoy.
No, I'd like these guys to go first.
They get the whole spectrum of the movie to choose from.
Really throwing our guests under the bus?
I like where you're coming from, Guy.
I like it.
Do they get to choose from any moment in the movie?
Joseph Moore, would you like to start? Yeah, okay.
Even though it ultimately resulted in one of the low points of the movie,
I just like the concept of a karaoke bar with backup dancers i think as
a karaoke patron wouldn't it be fun to have backup dancers while you perform karaoke waiting your
jaw-dropping performance yeah so and i they go to a place where this exists um solely i think so that
there's a feasible reason for the girls to have backup dancers when they do a um frankly
embarrassing performance of I Am Woman.
But up until then, they've kind of created this business.
I'm like, yeah.
And so there was a moment where I go, I'd like to go to that place.
Although I did notice.
That was the one second in which I was happy.
The one second in which it triggered your brain to think, I wish more karaoke bars had backup dancers.
That is your joyous takeaway from Simpsons City 2.
That's the moment I felt most at peace.
The guy who we opened on,
who I thought for a long time was singing a Boston song,
turns out he wasn't.
He doesn't have any backup dancers, though.
Yeah, he does.
They're above him.
Oh, shit.
Then I take it all back.
It's so unconventional,
because they're not backing up
In the traditional sense
Nick Samson
Does anything come to mind when I say to you
Shining light favourite bit of the movie
Gobble up that mic
I feel like my favourite bit of the movie
Was
When
Carrie called Big
To tell him that she kissed
What's his face? Aiden Aiden apologies Carrie called Big to tell him that she'd kissed...
What's his face?
Aiden.
Aiden.
Apologies.
Don't apologize.
I'm apologizing.
I'm desperate to apologize to you.
Let me apologize.
It's not privilege.
What's the word?
Permission.
Permission and forgiveness.
Keep going, Nick Sampson.
Keep going.
Dig deeper.
I want permission and forgiveness.
Carrie has rung up
Our favourite
Fuckbot from the government
I always ask for forgiveness
And always ask for permission
Was when she rang
Except Mr Big
And tells him
That she's kissed him
And we're back in New York
Briefly
And because it took
So long to get to New York
It took about an hour
And then I was so excited
To go to Abu Dhabi As soon as we got there I an hour and then i was so excited to go to abu dhabi as
soon as we got there i realized i was like no no we we have to go back it was a mistake to go here
so just that brief glimpse of like the cityscape maybe abu dhabi no of new york
oh during the phone call when we flashed back to him sad in his last hour. Cut to JJ Big the United States
military's
greatest fuckbot.
Staring sadly out
of Skyscraper.
I just felt like
oh man
this was
this was a huge mistake
ever leaving
the comfort
of New York.
So getting a flash
of Big
in his big
soulless office
was your shining light
of the movie.
God damn it
that is bleak.
Okay well I'll tell you mine. My shining light of the movie god damn it that is bleak okay well i'll
tell you mine um my shining light of the movie this time and i think i've actually enjoyed him
a lot of times but i've never remembered enough to bring it up is miranda's misogynist boss tom
he's amazing i love him he shuts her down so like succinctly with he doesn't even say words he just throws a hand out, he's like
talk to the hand, boom, chucks it out
they're in the meeting
Tom is a legend
what got you about Tom this week?
he's just so authoritative
and really instills himself as
the voice you want to listen to in the room
seems like he's got a lot of good ideas
and that's how he got to be partner at that firm
you know what I mean? he's a man who you trust.
He's a man who you go to with problems, and he gets them fucking solved.
He's the kind of guy who, like, if I accidentally killed a stripper,
I'd be like, Tom, bro, some shit has happened in Las Vegas.
Very particular kind of guy.
No, no, no.
But I'm just saying, if it was a bad problem, Tom could solve it.
He's not the kind of guy who'd freak out and be like oh i've got to call the police now because i'm obligated
because you've committed a crime and murdered someone he'd be like we're going to get ourselves
some acid i know a chemistry high school teacher we're going hydrochloric on it we're going to
dissolve the body and no one will ever know that this has happened he is a problem solver and he's
painted as a villain in this movie
i don't appreciate it but in the brief moments we have with him in the movie i enjoy him
i genuinely think this movie is making you lose your mind you always say that
you're thinking dangerous thoughts no i'm just i'm just saying i'm not saying i'm killing a
hooker i'm just saying if i did I'd want to go to Tom
It'd be like Mike Tyson way of
Framing things
We don't need to bring real people
Into the scenario
What's his name?
Another guy
Damn it
I fucked that up
Are you talking about old
The guy who made a pecky out for it?
Sorry?
No I'm talking about
The murderer NFL player
OJ Simpson?
Yeah yeah that's cool
Sure doesn't sound like it
I don't think Mike Tyson
is going to take
Kylie to you
mixing him up
well the hilarity is
you tried to slam me
and you've actually
revered yourself
for being a massive racist
who can't distinguish
between black people
so shame on you
Joseph Moore
let me say that name again
I could have just
hit by him
Joseph Moore
I'm just trying to be
the truest me I can be
god that's a terrible
defense guys pick up the ball and let's roll in with a shining light from you I'm just trying to be the truest me I can be God, that's a terrible defense
Guys, pick up the ball
And let's roll in with a shining light from you
I just want people to accept me
For all of my character flaws
Including my rampant racism
That's what I hear too
No
That's what I hear coming through
What a career blow this podcast
Has turned out to be
Had it and quit it What's going on to yourself even if society what a career blow this podcast has turned out to be
head it and quit it guy montgomery what's going on my shining light and sex in the city too you've got nothing look at those cold dead eyes most trend with whiskey most transparent witness
who starts answering the question by re-saying the question in a different order.
Sex in the City 2.
Jesus Christ, you are burning daylight on us, Montgomery.
All right, while you think of that, Joseph Moore, I'm going to throw it back to you.
You're running a very efficient, insane conversation here.
There was a man in this film named Coffee Guy.
We know Coffee Guy. We love Coffee Guy. in this film named Coffee Guy. Oh, yeah. We know Coffee Guy.
I saw him. We love Coffee Guy. We're familiar with Coffee Guy.
The question is...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...

doing? What's he up to?
Where's he up to?
Where's he going?
Where's he up to?
That's the question.
What's this dude? What's he all about?
Where's he off to? What's he doing?
That's gotta be over to the floor.
Can't just put that on Joseph.
Sorry. Joseph Moore, Nick Sampson.
What's he doing? Where's he off to?
Well, I felt like after this,
by the way, you guys built this guy up a lot
and he did not disappoint.
Excellent.
He drank a lot of coffee
in a very short amount of time, as promised,
and then he left very quickly.
And I could help but notice that
a waiter came in very shortly after he leaves,
clears his plate immediately.
And I'm wondering, did this waiter take the coffee cup back into the kitchen and then go, oh, no.
This coffee was not meant for this man.
This was a prototype coffee.
Oh, my God. Not yet ready for store consumption
He has drunken this coffee
What is the effect of this?
I must find this man
He goes home
He passes out
He wakes up
He looks in the mirror
His arms seem stronger
He takes off his top
Is that
Yeah that's weird
Abs is just a regular old coffee drinker
Yeah regular coffee drinker
Hold on
He's suddenly got all this energy.
He can't sleep.
He never sleeps again.
He is coffee guy.
He's got the energy of a guy who's drunk three coffees, but all the time.
That's right.
He doesn't need another coffee.
But if you give it to him, it'll be like he's had four coffees.
He spurts steamed milk out of his wrists.
Yeah.
He's got sugar.
He's got it.
Little packets of sugar in his pockets.
In his butt.
In his butt pockets.
He's got sugar in his butt pockets and he's spurting steam out of his wrists.
What do you make of that?
Do you love it?
He's running.
You've got to have it.
Suddenly there's a new hero in town.
Oh, people are mugging people.
Oh, Coffee Man's coming along.
Being a bit pushy about it.
Because it's a mug.
Coffee.
Great joke.
A mug is mugging someone.
Yeah.
That is brilliant.
And here's the crazy thing. It turns out that it's a Harry Potter mashup universe where muggles are mugging someone. Yeah. That is brilliant. And here's the crazy thing.
It turns out that it's a Harry Potter mashup universe where muggles are mugging mugs.
And only one man can save them all.
It's Coffee Guy.
He's on the scene.
He's steaming mad at crime.
He's off there with his wrists spurting hot milk into people's eyes.
Which is actually, when you think about it, pretty fucking hardcore.
It seems like a pretty low level superpower until you analyze the fact that he's got someone in a goddamn head
lock and he is spurting something that is above 100 degrees into their goddamn eyeballs they're
just gonna burn them irrevocably yeah they've got no flesh right off their face which is how
mr big became black and white sighted. That's what the colorblind people are calling themselves.
And credits.
Credits roll.
Credits roll.
Credits roll.
Everyone's leaving.
Not us.
We know to stay in the cinema.
That's right.
After the credits of Coffee Guy, it's a little sneak preview of the next big character.
Walk me through it.
We open on a big table.
A table covered in cakes.
That's right.
The gals have ordered too many cakes again for breakfast.
There's pastries.
There's muffins.
There's every sort of continental breakfast you could want.
They don't eat them.
They leave.
What happens?
Of course, you know what happens.
All the cakes merge together to form a humanoid continental man.
Continental man.
Boom, coming soon.
It's not coming out for a whole year, but it's going to exist in the same universe.
They buried the teaser trailer at the end of Coffee Man.
Yeah, for Continental.
Is that Indiana Jones?
No, it's the A-Team theme.
What's Indiana Jones?
Actually, the A-Team provided a character
for the next spin-off,
Mr. T.
Fantastic.
Hey, look,
Montgomery,
I feel like
Mr. T,
Mr. Coffee Man
and Continental Man
are all going to
form up together.
That's what we call
the worst idea
of all time
fuck-what universe
chapter one.
It's going to be
the new breakfast menu
at IHOP.
Now, Guy,
I feel like we've
bought you
plenty of time to think of a shining light.
So let's hit it straight off the bat.
You've brought me into an immersive experience.
Do you know what?
Some people accused me of throwing you under the bus.
I saw the bus come and grabbed you by the goddamn collar, moved you out of the way,
put something else in its way, and put you back in the right path, and you and you're still complaining you're driving the bus and it just feels like the bus is chasing
me i most i resent the accusation and i want you to get on with your goddamn duties as someone who
watches sex in the city 2 every week and provide a goddamn shining light as if you didn't see it
coming as if you don't know this happens every week just put it out there and my you're failing you are like an angry person had a lot of whiskey
uh it's the in my professional opinion as an esteemed reviewer of season 32 which i do on
a weekly basis yes and it is a process i enjoy what i most enjoy when i share a nightmare you're a bloody
nightmare is the slacker and efficiency with which i do it oh man i i don't i are you outraged nick
samson yeah i want you to yeah i'm fucking outraged just get to the fucking point man do you guys have
shining lights yeah we talked at length about them, and they were great. They were ones for the books.
That's what I'm talking about.
You're a crazy bus driver.
Don't you put this on me.
What's your shining light?
My shining light.
Fucking hell.
It just all blurs into a horrible memory.
You're such a piece of shit, Montgomery.
You really are.
It's just one long ongoing disappointment
My shining light is
That Mr Big's coffee cup is never full
There's never coffee in the cup
You enjoyed that
It's all an illusion
It's insane
Something they got wrong in the movie is your shining light
No
My shining light is that Mr
Yeah I guess
I just like Mr Big and his coffee cup
Coffee cup props
Do you know what I like?
You like me.
Nope.
The opposite.
What do I mean to do with that?
We can go.
Who are you?
What a negative note
to wrap up on.
We need these guys
to pitch the movie to us.
Oh, God.
That's got to be quick.
All right.
You guys have got to pitch.
So Guy Montgomery and I
are movie executives.
We greenlight projects.
We get shit done and funded.
You two have walked into our office to pitch us this movie
and so we can fund it.
Gentlemen and gentlemen, hand over your pitch.
Okay.
I was just walking...
First of all, hi.
Nice to meet you.
Hi.
Well, I've got time for this.
Very bad start.
We've met before. We worked on a project last summer. Yeah, my name's Tim. Yeah, Joseph. I don't know a lot of all, hi. Nice to meet you. Hi. Well, I haven't got time for this. Very bad start. We've met before.
We worked on a project last summer.
Yeah, my name's Tim.
Yeah, Joseph.
I don't know a lot of people, so I'm very important.
Okay.
So is Guy Montgomery.
Well, hi, Tim and Guy.
My name's Nick, and you're no Joseph.
Yeah, from last year.
From last summer, we worked on a project.
Fuck this up.
Fuck this up.
All right.
Don't go back to New Zealand.
What?
Never go back.
Okay.
Jesus Christ.
So I was just walking here,
and I passed a store with a bunch of televisions in the window,
and on the televisions was a show about some women.
You thought of this pitch on the way here to the meeting.
I like it.
In the amount of time it took me to walk the entire length of the TV store,
I got the gist of the show.
And while I was walking, I also passed.
The next shop was actually a travel agency,
which had a picture of the Middle East.
And so, I don't know.
And then we passed a candy store selling Reese's Pieces.
And then I hit my head pretty hard. Very important executives. You don't need And then I passed We passed a candy store Selling Reese's Pieces Yeah And then I hit my head
Pretty hard
Very important executives
And you were telling us
You don't need to know all this
You don't need to know
I'm running out of time
This is probably
I'm undermining my pitch
If anything
Picture this
Picture this
The drums and pianos combine
It's Jay-Z's
Empire State of Mind
Where are we?
We're in New York
But not New York
Not for long
Not New York
But for a while.
But then we get on a plane.
Okay.
But after a while.
Yes.
We're not there for...
So then we go to Abu Dhabi.
Oh, bold move.
Also hard to follow.
Yeah.
Okay.
By the way,
don't worry about that.
Don't worry.
We're not going to be respectful.
You've got Joseph Moore
on the project.
No one for his racism.
That does make me feel confident by getting that racist dollar i always thought joseph moore was known for his very even-handed liberal defense of everyone normally sometimes he confuses
controversial athletes anyway um so i've got women i've television. Can I do my own pitch?
I don't necessarily want to be associated with him
if he's going to be racist.
As a Jew, I'm very confused by the pitch.
No, you're going to need this racism in the film.
The film won't work if they don't make
just offhanded comments about women and minorities.
My place has New York and Abu Dhabi.
It's got two settings,
and we spend as much time in one as we do in the other,
which is an indeterminable, never-ending amount of time.
Here's what I'm going to do.
I like elements of what you both have said.
I need this, man.
I'm throwing you together as a directing team.
I'm giving you no money but I will give you
a production company
I've been in LA
I've been in LA
three years man
I mortgaged my house
back in New Zealand
for this
I need this
you get a production company
you don't get money
done
it's done
I'll do it with a dry cleaner
go be Groves on it
I don't care
I'll do this on a budget
I will actively
Tim I've got kids
I will be actively
trying to sabotage
this project
every step of the way I just got Lauren I will be actively trying to sabotage this project every step of the way
I just got
I just got Lauren
into a good school man
and if I can't
get the bills in
I do not care
for your personal problems
I do not care
for either of
your ideas
I appreciate that
I appreciate that
my esteemed
colleague and friend
has greenlit this project
okay so
I would just like
you to know
I will do anything I can
To make this
As difficult as possible
I look forward to
This sounds like a really good challenge
Well
To be honest
It sounds like all four of us
Are at odds
Which is how I like
To get movies made
So I invite you
To the challenge
I would like to say
Good luck to you gentlemen
And I would like to say
Thank you very much
For listening
Should we
Hands in the middle
Let's do it
Go ducks on four Hands in the middle? Let's do it Go ducks on four
Hands in the middle

One, two, three, four
Go ducks on four
Good enough
